VOLUNTEERS DONATE 89,000 HOURS TO YORK

YORK - York County saved nearly $1.2 million last year due to hundreds of volunteers who contributed more than 89,000 hours to county operations, the county reports.

Work performed by the 1,660 volunteers represents the equivalent of 43 full-time employees, Diane Fulton, community programs coordinator, says in her report, "1992 Report of Volunteers Serving York County Government."

Increasing numbers of people have called the county offering to volunteer, she says.

"It seems like within the last seven or eight months the calls just really started picking up," she says. "I'd have a week with five or six calls."

Senior citizens represent a large portion of the volunteers, she says in the report.
